Stay Ahead of the Storm by Storing Your Data in the Cloud

The initial estimate of damage caused by Hurricane Sandy is already over 20 billion dollars. We have all heard of the devastation caused all along the East Coast. Many hospitals have had to either run off of generators or move patients to a safer environment; doctor’s offices have closed to wait out the storm. In the case of medical files in clinics and hospitals the damage could be permanent if it weren’t for DICOM archives and remote storage. Now that the storm has receded many clinics have discovered severe water damage and other destruction to their offices. Luckily disaster recovery will be easier now that all the patients’ medical records are kept by law and practicality on RemotePACS.

Hurricane Sandy is only the latest reminder why a DICOM system is essential in the medical industry. Not only do these PACS servers keep medical images out of harm’s way but it allows medical professionals access to records even in the midst of a disaster.

Our DICOM and PACS systems are FDA and DICOM compliant and exceed guidelines set by HIPPA. We use military grade encryption to ensure patients’ confidentiality is secure. Log in from any computer and view your images immediately using our FDA approved, web-based image viewing software in full diagnostic quality. Our OmniRouter is DICOM compatible you can send from virtually any DICOM medical imaging equipment or PACS.

Cloud technology permits an enormous amount of data to be stored on a network accessible to countless users, available anytime. This technology expands the capability for multiple medical professionals to consult and diagnose remotely and simultaneously.

DICOM Disaster Recovery solutions offer several different options when it comes to preserving vital patient information archives. Every DICOM Storage system is designed to work with all standard peripherals such as disk drives, portable hard drives, CDs and DVDs so that your staff can have redundant back-ups of all patient records in case the worst happens.

It really hit home with the Dicom team how powerful Mother Nature can be. This is a picture of one of our sales representative’s office in New York City. Needless to say he will be working from home today. Good thing we use cloud technology to run our entire office and only lost a few PC’s that were completely backed-up. Stay safe and smart with Dicom Solutions!
